UChicago Arts Strategic Planning Manager

ABOUT UCHICAGO ARTSThe University of Chicago supports an ambitious suite of initiatives and programs to enhance the existing UChicago Arts landscape. These include the Arts + Public Life initiative and its flagship projects, the Arts Incubator in Washington Park, The Place Lab and The Arts Block, Court Theatre, the Richard Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry, the Arts, Science & Culture Initiative, the Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts and the Smart Museum of Art. These University-wide arts programs join academic departments and programs in the Division of the Humanities and the College, as well as, the Oriental Institute Museum, University of Chicago Presents, and more than 60 student arts organizations, in forging an integrative model for practice, presentation, and scholarship. Building on this work, the Provost’s Arts Steering Committee has developed a vision for the future of the arts that includes efforts to enhance public and campus art and develop new support for architecture, media art and design, and the campus collections.
